LT Blake "Scratch" Adler is on a classified mission deep in hostile space, a mission that might prevent another war...or unleash a holocaust.

THE AVIATORS is the first of a series of three novella-length stories, each one a stand-alone prequel to my military science fiction novel, FLEET OPPOSED, the first book of THE HAN WARS series (release date October 1, 2019). In each of the three stories, THE AVIATORS, THE INFANTRY, and THE SPACERS, you'll get a glimpse inside three different service communities in the Republic Combined Fleet, and maybe meet a few characters who will make an appearance in FLEET OPPOSED or subsequent books.

UPDATE: All three novellas are now available in single paperback volume titled FLEET OPPOSED - THE PREQUELS. If you're a reader who prefers a dead tree version, I've got you covered!

A mission gone wrong... Innocent lives have been lost...

Escaping wrongful imprisonment wasn’t something Connor had in mind, but being put into stasis aboard Earth’s first interstellar colony ship was something he couldn’t have prepared for.

For three hundred thousand colonists, the new colony brings the promise of a fresh start…a second chance. Connor might be the wrong man for the colony, but he’s the right man to see that it survives what’s coming.

A new world with new challenges, but the mission has changed.

Criss lives in a special kind of prison. He can see and hear everything around the world, yet a mesh restrains his reach, forcing his cooperation. His creator, Dr. Jessica Tallette, believes his special abilities offer great promise for humanity. But she fears the consequences of freeing him, because Criss, a sentient artificial intelligence with the intellect of a thousand humans, is too powerful to control. Tallette’s world is upended when the Kardish, a race of alien traders, announce that they want Criss for themselves, expressing their desires with ominous undertones. She turns to the Union of Nations for help, and they task Sid, a special agent, with leading the response. Sid believes that Criss is Earth’s greatest weapon and asks him to confront the Kardish. But can the AI be trusted? And what is humanity’s role if an interstellar battle among titans starts to rage?

In a space-faring future, janitorial engineer Casey Cassandra spends her days contentedly fixing robots on an ambassador’s spaceship. But when one of her robotic cleaning cubes happens to be in the wrong place at the right time, Casey overhears an ominous threat.

Someone is plotting to kill the ambassador, and that someone is a traitor within their own fleet.

Armed with only a hefty cleaning cube bot (named Charles) and her eccentric engineering knowledge, Casey must go against all fleet standards. She’ll have to break the rules in order to secretly warn her boss, Ambassador Dessian Tandor, that he’s in imminent danger — from his own people.

Although Dessian is hard-pressed to believe Casey’s claims, he can’t deny that things have been strange lately aboard his ship. With the help of a lazy yet charming pilot, Dessian and Casey escape from their spaceship home. Within a few hours, all three of them are publically branded as criminals. On the run now, Casey and Dessian must find out why they're being framed — and who they can trust, when the whole fleet seems to be against them.

It’s just one command between life and death, and somehow the ship’s janitor has found herself at the helm of a universe-wide conspiracy plot.

An intricate sci-fi fusion of action and espionage, Just One Command is entrenched in cinematic pacing and climactic moments: full of endearing characters, wit, and carefully-laid plans gone awry.

There’s no murder in paradise.

Homicide detective Siro Ferreira-Nunes must solve his most challenging case.

More and more people end up dead in the “city of dreams,” an allegedly perfect society. The victims haven’t just been murdered; they’ve been also horribly mutilated and stripped of their neural implants and augmentations. This is not the work of a serial killer but the signature of crime syndicates who sell the costly augmentations on the black market.

A specialist in organized crime, detective Ferreira-Nunes is the right man for job. Partnered with the sharp-witted Kate Spader, they delve into the seedy underworld of Oldtown, the megacity’s most notorious district, where life is cheap and criminal masterminds know how to evade the all-controlling “perfect” society of Olympias.

One of the victims, a popular TV star provides a surprising clue: behind his shiny smile the actor hid a shocking double life in Oldtown’s infamous redlight district. Was the man really just a victim?

The investigation leads Siro and Kate from Oldtown’s gritty shadows to the opulent penthouses of the elite in the skyscrapers above. After the detectives barely survive an assassination attempt on their lives, the Guardian Angels, Olympias’ notorious elite cyborg enforcers enter the stage.

But can they be trusted or are they following their own agenda?

"Neon Nights" is a spin-off from the acclaimed "Behind Blue Eyes" series but can be read as a standalone—an exciting mix of cyber intrigue, sex, and danger.

For fans of "Altered Carbon" and noir detective stories!
